Colton Dion was born in Asheville North Carolina in 1996. His work is recognizable through the warping appearance he sculpts each painting into. His influences include artists like Salvador Dali, Allison Moritsugu and Ivan Shishkin. Colton is a self taught artist, who believes his connection with nature and its patterns is what motivates and attracts his evolving artistic nature. His wooden sculptural paintings are directly inspired by the mountains and atmosphere surrounding his home in Western North Carolina.
Colton shows his work around Asheville, primarily at The Colton Dion Gallery and represented by Foundation Woodworks gallery. By living in a creative mind he finds pleasure in viewing traditional landscape paintings in a new form, and in a steadily experimental sculptural format.
